Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 42 Part 2: Seeing the Character

Jiang Yuanbai was stumped.

He considered deeply whether Jiang Li was given directions by other people. He cared about the Jiang family being humiliated, yet he forgot about keeping on Emperor Hong Xiaos good side.

This is one thing, the other thing, father, we the Jiang family, with four daughters, aside from third sister, the fourth and fifth sisters also attend Ming Yi Hall. But against reason, I stay at home, first its unfair, second, trying to hide it will make it more conspicuous. Human nature is like this, naturally unfolding to let others see. Others still disdain to comment, but the more it is concealed and hidden, the more others want to investigate. Father thought by hiding me at home others wont talk about me. But thats wrong, the more it is done this way, the more happily they will discuss.

When Jiang Li said all these, she didnt carry any special mood, seemingly talking about someone elses matters. But in Jiang Yuanbais ears, those words were completely reasonable. Moreover, the third branchs Jiang Yuan Xing brived people with some gifts for Jiang Yue and Jiang Yu Yan to attend Ming Yi Hall, let alone them from the main branch.

Father, Jiang Li lowered her eyes: the matter at that time was my mistake. However, people are not sages who wouldnt do any wrongdoings, if you dont correct your mistakes, you cant do anything good. I was young and not sensible, now that Im bigger, naturally I understand logic. Since young I had no mother to guide me, after taking a step in the wrong direction, dont tell me I have to use my whole lifetime to repay? I am willing to do so, but I am a daughter of the Jiang family and I am not willing to become the Jiang familys burden.

The sentence, since young I had no mother to guide me, hit Jiang Yuanbai right in his heart. His heart shook as he said: Lier, but you.

Father, when I was in Mount Qingchengs nunnery, its not as if I didnt practice writing characters. I know my father is the Chief Assistant in court and must not be a commoner who only smiles magnanimously. So I asked a small teacher in the nunnery who knows how to read to teach me how to write. Even though the writing is not good, Ive read the books of enlightenment and can write many characters.

She unexpectedly walked towards the table where Jiang Yuanbai just now wrote the word quiet and moved it to the side before spreading a blank paper. Jiang Lis movement startled Jiang Yuanbai, who subconsciously looked at Jiang Li.

Jiang Li lifted her sleeve and slowly rubbed the ink with an ink stick. Her wrist was slim, her actions gentle and soft, producing an unusual sense of beauty, warming the hearts and delighting the eyes of others. She seemed to have done this thing countless times and looked very natural.

After the ink was rubbed well, she took up a brush and dipped it in ink before she started writing. While writing, she softly said: Father, even though Ming Yi Hall is a school, there are many people inside who could be friends. As long as I dont make any mistakes there, make many good friends, it can be said that its always beneficial and harmless for the Jiang family. My surname is Jiang, so I always wish the Jiang family will become more and more prosperous.

Her writing wasnt the same as Jiang Yuanbais writing. Jiang Yuanbais writing was slow but deep, each stroke took especially long to write. However, Jiang Li wasnt the same, she appeared gentle and elegant, polite and amiable but when she wrote, there was a feeling of being in the middle of a battle. It was similar to a soldier taking up a blade, rushing to the scene of killing, the feeling of fighting thoroughly until daybreak.

Jiang Yuanbai looked at Jiang Lis profile, an elegant beauty, graceful like jade, yet ferocious, bold and heroic.

The brush stopped, Jiang Li put it away with a valiant movement at the side then said: Done.

Jiang Yuanbai raised his eyes to take a look and was shocked at first glance.

The character was extremely beautiful, vigorous and powerful. This kind of writing needed at least ten years of hard practice to succeed. Compared to Jiang You Yaos writing, it was much, much better. Also, the character really wasnt the flowery girly pattern that females usually used, rather it was broadly joined together, neat and smooth.

The square had vigor, the meeting point at the edges appeared sharp.

Seeing the character was like seeing through a person. Actually a straightforward and upright, tough and tenacious person,

Jiang Yuanbai sized up the girl in front of him like a stranger. Jiang Li looked at him all smiles and asked: Now do you agree for me to go to Ming Yi Hall, father?
